Elton John Zero Sparkling Wine Debuts in United States

The Chardonnay-based drink is fermented with selected cultures instead of yeast, so alcohol is never produced at any stage.

The drink was created by Elton John and David Furnish and is produced exclusively from Chardonnay grapes grown in northern Italy. Its method is the technical story: a precisely controlled fermentation using selected cultures instead of yeast mirrors the structure and aroma of a classic Blanc de Blancs without producing alcohol at any stage. It is vegan and vegetarian-friendly. In the United States it is distributed exclusively by Foley Family Wines & Spirits, in collaboration with Benchmark Drinks, at a suggested retail price of $25 for a 750 ml bottle, in stores and online.

The brand arrives with a British track record: it is already the number one zero-percent premium sparkling wine at Tesco and Sainsbury's, the country's two largest grocers, is sold in more than 15 countries, and the company says someone has enjoyed a glass every minute since launch. The category context comes from Foley Family Wines & Spirits chief marketing officer Jason Daniel, citing Circana data for the 52 weeks ending September 6, 2026: the sparkling non-alcoholic wine category is growing 49 percent in the United States. Elton John Zero is the company's first non-alcoholic wine alternative brand. [BevNET — Elton John Zero Blanc de Blancs debuts in the US (November 10, 2026)]
